GEORGIA MILLIONAIRES, OCTOPUS CHASERS AND RAIL
ROADS.
. A distinguished citizen of that state declares that West
Virginia Is in sore need of additional railroads aggregating 2,000
miles. Between the Potomac and the Rio Grande there Is need
of additional railroads aggregating 80,000 miles. Aa the orow
files It la alxty miles from Somerset, Ky.,.to Glasgows Ky. v and
the erow can Journey from one to the other of these towns with
out crossing a railroad track, though It Is aa fair a land as the
eye of bird ever viewed and rich In mo3t of the natural energies
of field, of forest and of mine.
But this Is the age of octopus chasing. Where Is the capital
ist that will construct a railroad for Hoke Smith and Tom Wat
son to play with? Mr. Moses Wetmore Is a man of millions,
proprietor of a harm)Ini estate In the Osark region that might
challenge the envy of a Hapsburg or a Hohenzollern; but Mr.
Moses Wetmore Is not building railroads for th& octopus chasers
to practice on. It la narrated that Mr. Tom Watson haa become
disreputably rich, and In an honest way, but Mr. Watson is not
making railroads for Mr. Hoke Smith to toss In a blanket. Mr.
Hoke Smith Is also disgracefully rich—a millionaire, his wealth
honestly acquired, we make not the smallest doubt—but Mr.
Smith is not building any railroads for Tom Watson or Ben
Tillman to chase. •
There Is a deal of amusement In the octopus chase. We all
got our money's worth out of the Hepbum-Tlliman bill, but It
has pretty nearly stopped railroad building, except extensions and
connections Imperatively demanded.
We are not picking any quarrel with the octopus chasers.
They are a noble army of patriots, triumphant and militant.
They are all right; but wo do believe they would be publfc
benefactors to adjourn the chase until the South gets at least
50,000 miles additional railroad lines to chase.—Washington
Post. ,
The carelessness of The Post as to facts' arid its unreliability In rela
tion to men and things. Is perhapsi fitly Illustrated In the estimate of the
wealth of Governor Smith and Mr. Watson.
These Oeorglahs whom The Post recklessly rates as millionaires are
comparatively men of moderate means. Governor Smith bos been a suc
cessful lawyer and a judicious Investor and Is doubtless worth about'
$250,000, with an Income of perhaps $20,000. Mr. Watson by hla law
practice and his books has amassed a fortune of about the same propor
tions, but to make lta point and emphasize Its contention The Post cred
its them with millions. A bad start.
The Post Is owned by John R. McLean, himself many times a mil
lionaire, and It 1^ not surprising. In view of Mr. McLean'a Investments,
that The Post should be exceedingly kind to the railroads.
Behind Its weapon of raillery The Post’s contention la that all rail
road agitation ought to atop In order that the railroad men may build
more railroads and so develop the country.
Which Is a plausible argument enough, and one so commonly, used
that It may well be suspected of a general Inspiration from the camps of
the railroad magnates themselves. Language and lino of thought aro al
most Identical In every section of the country.
Wei), we do need more railroads—not vitally or Indispensably, but
generally throughout the country the railroads would open new territory
and help to develop the country. But we are doing fairly well as It Is.
Tho country Is prosperous, farmers and merchants aro alike growing
rich. Nobody Is making any particular complaint of business or pros
pects for the future'. We might easily manage without any serious loss
to scuffle along for a few years, without any more railroads, and still
have enough to keep the wolf from the door of the farm house or the
mansion. ,
The only question Is, do we need new railroads bad enough In this
country to surrender to thorn after wo have set out to regulate them?
Are new railroads so necessary to our continued llfo and prosperity that
we can afford to lay down our arms In this militant struggle and permit
the railroads to take up their position of advtntage from which tho peo
ple have dlslo'dged them, and to regain In a night all the power of their
lobbies, th^ subtlety of their passes, the arbitrary tyranny of their ratos,
and the almost Insolent Indifference of their offices to the convenience
and comfort of the' people?
Who can doubt that the fine Italian hand of the railroads Is manu
facturing this special plea that Is designed to restore the status In which
tho railroads were masters and the people slaves? It would be a bril
liant corporate triumph If It should succeed, and It Is evident that the
corporations are massing their strength and marshalling their forces, and
"seeing" the publicists of doubtful morals about this matter right now,
and organising the chorus of protest which Is rolling against the clean,
wholesome tide of reform.
Whenever you hesr, thoughtful render, a politician or a newspaper
sneering at the groat reform movemont and spelling ’It "Refawnt" "be-
gosh" and calling Its leaders “octopus chasers," you may Just make up
your mind that somebody high In corporate authority has "Interviewed"
that politician or editor, and that he la getting ready right now to grad
ually "veer back" Into the "conservatism" which has never failed to mean
corporate rule In tbe past, and Is equally sure to mean the same thing
In the future. t
If the people of Georgia, or 0? any other state, should be weak and
foolish enough to listen to the oily tongues of corporate sirens, and be
either seduced or frightened Into a surrender of what they hare won,
until this great question of railroad and corporate regulation Is settled
they do not deserve to be free, and will richly msrlt all the Injustice, tho
discrimination and the actual tyranny which corporate control has In
time past fostered upon the country.
This Is a time for tho people to stand Arm and vindicate their intel
ligence and their character, and to encourage their great leaders to go
forward to tac great ends to which tho people have called them.
good government becomes one of the foremost If not the foremost ques
tions of the time.
Atlanta In the main has been one of the best governed cities In the
country, but even Atlantans In and out of official life would find .It ad
visable to connect themselves with this splendid organization, and learn
how to vote and how td counsel and how to execute In city affairs.
THE INDUSTRIAL INDEX.
The steady advance and Improvement of The Georgia and Alabama
Industrial Index Is only another proof of the prosperity that wraps Itself
about Southern business In all lta forms.
The Index wax started In modest dimensions In Columbus some
twelve months ago, aad now, with finely printed pages, with a largo
and Increasing circulation, it goes out every woqli preaching the gospel
of sunshine and buslnsss cheer to thousands of people In the two states,
aa to many In other states.
The Index Is doing-a good work for Georgia and Alabama and richly
deserving the good will of the business people of the country.

THE QUESTION OF GOVERNING THE CITIES WELL.
Secretary Charles Bonaparte Is president of tbe National Munici
pal League and also chairman of Itts executive committee.
It may be aupposed that when a cabinet officer gives his name
and a certain portion of his valuable time to an outsldo organization. It
must have something In It of practical force and benefit to good govern
ment and to the people. The league Is an educational and non* partisan
organisation, formed for the purpose of advancing reforms in our cities.
And the work fcf this national league Is very practical and help
ful. More than eighty American cities havo up to the Riresent time
availed themselves of the schedule for uniform accounting and report
ing prepared by the league committee. It’s "Municipal Program" has
been used In every constitutional convention and charter commission
held since Its publication.
Its proceedings are used In the Important college and public li
braries In the country. Dr. Amos Parker Wilder, American consul to
Hong Kong, In a recent speech before the league, said: "Six months
from now. In one hundred universities, students will be found taking
notes from remarks made here."
Hon. D. P. Jones, when mayor of Minneapolis, strikingly put the
case when he declared;
"I greatly appreciate the aplendld work of the league, and (or one,
lay great stress upon‘the effectiveness of tbe kind of work the league has
been doing for the past ten yean or more, and feel that much of the
present splendid public sentiment all over this country has been deve!
oped and encouraged by the work of the league and similar organisations
all over the country."
In The Milwaukee Free Press. Mayor John A. Bntler said:
"The National Municipal l-eaguc, established In Philadelphia In
1894 and composed of experts In'its official ranks, long ago anticipated,
and clearly defined, nearly all of the practical 'Issues’ which form the
stock In trade of municipal political aspirants of the better order. In all
parts of the country. The clear thought and practical educational work
of that organisation form one of our most genuine political asseta and
deserve the utmost financial support on all sides."
With the wonderful growth of tbe cities the problems of municipal

LEADING NEGRO NEWSPAPERS
COMMENT ON MR. GRAVES
FROM THE ATLANTA INDEPEND
ENT.
It makes no difference what may be
Mr. Graves’ editorial opinion on the
race problem, It esn not be denied that,
personally, he Is of a most happy per
sonality, and of a sunshiny disposition,
scattering kindness and flowers In the
pathway of his fellow man, rather than
thorns.
We have differed from him radically
and still do so on ntany questions of
political and economic moment, but
ouf differences do not blind us to the
good In the man, John Temple Graves
In common with mankind, has his vices
as well ns his virtues, but happily, In
hls great character his virtues pre
dominate. There Is much more In the
man to praise ahd admire than to con
demn, and even the negro whom he
has often maligned, though we believe
without malice or forethought, must
feel a distinct loss In hls removal to
the North.
John Temple Graves filled q place In
Southern Journalism distinctly hls own.
free from the Intrusion or domination
of hls contemporaries. He performed
the happy feat without prejudice to the
Individualism of Howard. Loyless, Pen
dleton, Gray or Estlll. Neither of the
great editors felt that Mr. Graves’ In
dividuality Interfered with their per
sonal Impress because John Temple
Graves ts In a class by himself.
It has been often said that there
was more rhetoric In hls writing than
logic; that he lost sight of the force
of helpful argument In the beauty of
hls platitudes; that Mr. ^Graves dealt
more tn the superficial and the liter
ary than In tho creative nnd correct
ive, yet jnone of these things lessen
the appreciation of hls work, or the
force of hie personalism In the na
tional life. In plain and simple truth
John Tetripje' Graves Is a real editor,
and a man you can build a newspaper
around. The paper adds nothing to
Mr.' Graves; h# contributes all to It.
The people will read and appreciate
Whatever 1 publication he directs, and
hls separation from 8outhern Journal
ism U an Irreparable loss.’
Mr. Graves has said many hard
things against the raco, but there has
never been a time when he would not
let us stats our case In hls columns.
We have, from time to time, disagreed
with hint, and roundly denounced hls
doctrine, but We have never lost re
spect for hie ability and high charac
ter. We will miss John Temple Graves
In our community life, and hope that
he will spend ns much .time tn hls ma
ture years discovering and advertising
our virtues ns he has in tbe past, mak
ing our vices prominent. There Js too
much sunshine and heart In the Ufe of
John Temple Graves for him to con
tinue to make any people, miserable.
Mr. Graves, as you go to New York
and begin your work In a larger and
more useful field, when you write on
the negro problem, bear In mind that
"flowers on the coftlh cost no fra
grance backward over life’s weary
way."
We are your friends, and have help,
ed you to the place you now succeed
to by our support. In your most pros
perous years we sail, as a matter of
gratitude, that.you at least, now that
you are well around the corner, fill our
lives with some sweetness and hope.
BALANCE OF TRADE
FROM 1789 TO 1905.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
Onr so-called "farorSblo bn In nee of trade"

of the high protectionists. They hare dem

tleularly by our great excess of exports

FROM THE AMERICAN CITIZEN.
Stronger things have happened than
that In which the present editor of The
Atlanta Georgian Is now the central
figure. Andrew Carnegie rose from the
ranks of the newsboy to the sphere of
«o International arbiter of peace. Abra
ham Lincoln stepped over hls pine rails
Into the presidency of the great Ameri
can Union. Frederick Douglass took
the Implements of slavery q*bd shaped
and welded the finest form of Ameri
can manhood to which the nation lias
ever given Its respect and shown Its
esteem. Any man with merit can and
will rlne. This Is the secret of the
promotion of Editor John Temple
Grayer. The Georgia editor has been
writing beautifully and weightily, and
the promotion to a Hearst paper natu
rally follows.
The emphasis must, however, fall on
the one thing that above all others
made It possible for Editor Graves- to
reach possibly the highest notch In hls
Journalistic career—ability. No man
has read after John Temple Graves
without the feeling following the
thought forced on by the Impressive
touch of a hand trained to the art of
the written word. Whether ho has
engaged In reflective mood nnd dwelt
calmly by to advise hls common breth
ren as to the Ills and the ends not best
for the general good; whether he was
seized with a passionate love for hls
own race or an Intensified hate for the
offending negro; whether he was
wrought up In the advocacy of mu
nlclpal ownership or tangled In the
network of. labor problems and .of
finance; whether he was pleased or
vexed, dead sure or uncertain, or right
or wrong; whether or not he wanted
for president Hearat or Bryan or
Roosevelt, or nobody at all, one thing
could, always, be counted on: John
Tehipte Graves wrote like he himself
was thinking the thoughts he was writ
ing nnd like he himself was writing the
thoughts he was thinking. They were
hts and that Is the first and last Im-
S reunion made on you. Ability la at the
ottom of a strong and Impressive per
sonality In the man and ability sup
ports the Individuality of a man's
work.
Above all, John Temple Graves has
the courage to speak hts convictions.
On the race question In the South no
man has stood more firmly and un-
equlvocably In hls original attitude as
to the disposition he thought wan wise
In tho solution of It all, Tho world has
Infinitely more respect for the man
who shows plainly and boldly under
what flag he offers bln life-blood than
for the man who slips up after the bat
tle Is over and Joins In "me too” with
no fixed allegiance beforehand. It does
not require much courage now to say
that ono Is against the colored man.
It does require a large amount of cour
age for a white man to say he Is for
the colored man. Since no Southern
white man has come squarely out and
taken an unapologlslng stand for the
negro, we had much rather trust our
cause In the hands of one who has
stated hls position nnd remains true to
hls first enunciation, Mr. Graves Is
less harmful than the man who does
hls work against us secretly nnd strikes
us unawares. One should appreciate
manliness even In hls enemy. We ap
preciate manliness. • • •
We believe that most of the colored
people nre - In hearty accord In the
wish that Editor John Templo Graves
will find new Inspiration In the work
which ho Is about to t enter upon as
edltor-tn-chlef of The NeWr York
American. We believe that the op
portunity now at hls hand to rise above
mere sectionalism and above mere
color lines In the doing of genuine
service to all the people. North and
South, white and black, great and
small, will not go unheeded, and, bet
ter still, will not be abused.
In the name of the best colored peo
ple of this magnificent cltj- w e wish for
the brilliant John Temple Graves a
bigger, brighter, better nnd happier life
